Cut cubed cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, a little at a time until dough comes together. It shouldn’t be too wet. Wrap in plastic, chill at least 1 hour. On a floured surface, Roll ½ the dough large enough to line an 8” tart pan. Remove the excess dough around the edges. Spread the cooled maple custard. Place pear filling on top. Start around the border, then towards the center. Make sure you don’t overfill your tart - it’s okay to have some filling left over. Roll the remaining ½ crust dough to 4mm thickness. Cut into strips and line the tart into a lattice pattern. (see video) Remove excess ends by pressing on the edge with your fingers. Roll the remaining dough, cut into thin strips to make twists. Brush the tart circumference with water, then place twists on Brush with plant based milk. Bake 375F 30-35 minutes. If the crust is not brown enough, broil 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully during the broiling process to prevent burning. After baking, immediately brush with warm apricot jam (optional). Cool 1 hour before serving.
